Talk: Penalties for abuse

Revision as of 14:12, 17 March 2006

If this does become policy then it needs to be moved to GuildWiki:Policy as this is the page that is linked to from the "Ban User" page. --Rainith 07:26, 17 March 2006 (CST)

I don't think it should become policy without a lot more review and possibly a vote. The current draft is too preliminary to think of it as anything more than a guideline. User:Stabber/Sig 07:33, 17 March 2006 (CST)

Not first time - how to ID?

My only question is on the "not first time" list. Does this then require the admin to go to the banning log, then scroll through trying to spot if the particular user ID or IP has ever been banned in the past? A user could easilly edit out any reference to a prior ban from their user or talk pages, so to me it would be extremely difficult to identify "not first time" offenders unless it's all repeated offenses prior to the first ban. --161.88.255.140 07:14, 17 March 2006 (CST)

I too am confused by that as I am not going to go back through the block log looking to see if 123.456.789.10 has been blocked before, it is enough of a hassle to see if someone already blocked the IP and didn't delete the ban request. --Rainith 07:26, 17 March 2006 (CST)

Luckily for you that is an invalid IP so you don't even have to look! :) But seriously, feel free to edit the page if there is something there that doesn't make sense or is far too cumbersome to implement. User:Stabber/Sig 07:33, 17 March 2006 (CST)

I think just removing the "First" and "Not First Time" while leaving the "Single Page" and "Multiple Pages" would suffice. What about penalties for a *new* page that the person created? That hits home for me, as that's why I got blocked for a month - Greven 07:42, 17 March 2006 (CST)

I made a first stab at adjusting some points. --161.88.255.140 07:54, 17 March 2006 (CST)
